Rogers Lumia 900 on T-Mobile - Nokia Lumia 900

Hey everyone. I've got a Lumia 900 from Rogers unlocked running on T-Mobile. I was finally able to get one. My internet works great. It's Edge but that's because that is from my ten dollar grandfathered data plan so I don't mind. Everything works great I have the purple hue problem but it doesn't bother me much. What I am having trouble with that is bothering me a bit is that I can't send and receive MMS picture messages. Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? I called T-Mobile. They were very helpful as always and tried sending me the settings and everything but it still won't work. Any idea what I could do to get this working? Is it because I have a Roger's phone that was unlocked? Would I have the same problem if I got the world unlocked version? Thanks in advance. I'm really excited about the phone it's awesome. Just switched from an HTC Radar. I don't wanna have to wait until Windows Phone 8 for a phone with MMS. Thanks!

Yes, you'd have the same problem on any Windows Phone not sold by T-Mobile. You need the Network Setup app to configure MMS settings. According to Nokia it should be out in the US late this month, early next month.

Oh okay, thanks. Would the app work or show up for me to download if I have a Rogers phone here in the states?

Yeah, you'll be able to get it once it's out.

Hey Exiva,
Do you have a 900 you are using on T-Mobile?
I'm 2 days away from receiving an unlocked version off eBay. Anything I should know? Are you able to get other than Edge and if not, do you think the refarming effort will eventually bring the 900 to 3G or better?
Thanks

I'm not using a 900 on T-Mobile (Waiting for codes for the phone I won.) As of now you should only get edge, but yes, once the new frequencies are rolled out it should be able to get 3G/Faux-4G.

how did you get data to work on T-Mobile at all ? Did you manually type in the APN ?

You can manually set the data APN, but not the MMS apn.

[Q] Anyone got it working on AT&T yet?

is it hspa+
21mbps?
same speeds as gs2 att version?
Yes. It is.
Anyone got it working on AT&T yet?
If so, where did you order it from?
There is nothing special about AT&T in this case. Just insert the SIM and input the APN settings manually and you should be good to go.
You shouldn't even need to do anything manually. Just pop the SIM and away you go.

Take comfort in the fact that you will get HSPA+ connectivity on both tmobile and at&t thanks to the pentaband radio. APN settings are really no big deal, especially if your on an android geek site such as this

[Q] Internet sharing on unlock at&t lumia 900

Hi everyone!
I just unlocked my lumia 900. I am currently having 3GB LTE data plan with AT&T. I thought after it got unlocked, I will be able to turn on the internet sharing without getting the 5GB data plan. But it looks like I am wrong. Can some one tell me if there is a way to turn on the internet sharing with 3GB data plan on an unlocked Lumia 900? Many thanks!!
Nope. Unlock is only fro SIM cards so that you can use other carrier's sim cards. Internet Sharing is permanently locked in software. There might be slim chance that you can use Internet Sharing on other carriers but you will never be able to do so on AT&T.
So can we like refresh another carrier's system version on it? Like Rogers? So that can enable the internet sharing.
Yes, if there is way for you to do so. You will need to locate such a ROM and find a way to flash it on to your phone.

Are you using AT&T?
I've reset my phone twice now just to verify and I can reproduce the effect every time... Internet Sharing works fine on my unlocked Lumia 900 that I'm now using w/T-Mobile (I'm in Vegas so yes, i do get 4g) and then I download the Nokia Network Setup app and just after running it for the first time I immediately check internet sharing... I get the msg to call AT&T to enable internet sharing.
So, that's what is causing it for my device as far as I can tell...Anyone feel like trying it to get a 2nd confirmation?

Here is a downer:
I just got a brand new Lumia 920 dev phone. Totally unlocked. And yet, when I plug in my AT&T SIM card and launch Internet Sharing, it gives me the same exact message my AT&T branded Lumia 900. It looks like Nokia goes out of its way to protect AT&T's interest even on a non-branded, totally unlocked, and yes WP8, phone.

Did it come with at&t apps or an at&t logo on boot?
No. It is not branded as I mentioned and I have to manually configure the APN before I can use cell data.

I can confirm the observed behavior. Seems that running Nokia Network Setup breaks internet sharing. So far, only a hard reset will fix the problem.

Pulling this thread up again. Has anybody any experience on WP 7.8? I have my lumia running on WP 7.8 (clean flash through the care suite). I did install the Nokia Network setup, since I wasn't aware of this particular issue (yes, I should have done my research, but didn't).
So, before I reset my phone, and spend all the time to set up my 4 email accounts and have to reconfigure my home screen (which would take longest), I want to make sure that resetting it will actually help to get the teathering working n T-Mobile.
Thanks

No Data on AT&T for unlocked T-Mobile N2

Hey all, been lurking for a while and found that many of you have unlocked Note 2's running on AT&T. I bought my unlock code and all is well on the voice front, I just can't seem to get data working (not edge, not 3G, not HSPA+, nothing). I've tried the various APN's floating around, I've tried selecting CDMA ALL for the frequency band, and I've selected AT&T and "registered on the network" using the automated feature of the phone itself. Still nothing.
When the AT&T version is released, will I be able to flash the ROM and make it work as if I bought it from them?
Thanks in advance for your help.

This is the answer I needed. Thank you! I ended up going to the AT&T store today. They said that for some reason I didn't have a data plan anymore (weird because I traded my iPhone 5 for this phone! They subsidized it.) They couldn't get my IMEI to work in their system so the saleswoman used her own IMEI to get me going.
I had been to the AT&T Store once before to trade my nanosim for a microsim, but the phone wasn't unlocked at the time so I couldn't test it out. They scanned in my phone but I guess it didn't take. All is well now, I have 4G (but not LTE, but it doesn't matter because I'm moving to a non-LTE city in less than a month).
It works perfectly, I put in the APNs from the Galaxy S3 on display that the AT&T Store. Decent speeds, awesome phone. Thanks everyone!

That's what I get. And honestly, 3-6Mb/s is perfectly fine for me. I'd like to get LTE for the time I'm here but it doesn't bother me that I don't. At some point one has to question that value of 100Mb internet on a 3GB data plan.
LTE is locked as of right now on the tmobile GN2

I know it isn't AT&T but it took a while to get Solavei APN working on my phone. I played with the settings forever with a customer service rep before I finally got it to work. MMS & internet work great now! Can't wait for LTE to launch!

[Q] P605 LTE What service

I know that the P605 will not work with LTE. However I can confirm that my straight talk Sim card works and I am getting HSPA+ (ATT Straight Talk Card) Here is my situation. I purchased a sim car from AT&T and activated it on the Gophone plan.. $35 per month for 500 minutes and unlimited text and data. For some reason no matter what APN I put in I don't get any data. I got data the first night I set it up and now I get no data. I have a International Version of the Galaxy S4 running with a GoPhone dumb phone $50 per month unlimited everything. (AT&T system does not recognize the IMEI so it reverts it to a dumb phone). Why isn't it working for my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014. I figure $35 bucks isn't a bad deal. Please assist or am I dead in the water.

I also have a P605, and I've been trying to get connected via Red Pocket Mobile, an AT&T MVNO, but I haven't had much luck. However, my issues are with Red Pocket's terrible customer service, and trying to get their smallest data plan (1GB for $10) connected to the sim card (that it took them 2 weeks to send).
I've read about a T-Mobile $30/month plan for BYOD devices that I will test out, once I get the sim card from them (currently backordered)...My device had a USA T-Mobile profile already present in the APN settings, I'm hoping it will work!

I had that Tmobile plan however my area is not fully framed for the 1900MHZ on tmobile. AT&T works but like I said must be something funky going one. At this point I may send my device back for a refund or sell it. I may just wait for a US carrier to get it. Yeah I know I won't get updates or support from US carriers.........wait damn that........ I will get my money back for this one and just go back to using my wifi version. (gave to my wife but will have to get it back) US carriers really suck when it comes to certain things.

San Diego should be farmed to 1900 so I'm hoping for decent coverage around town. I faced the same dilemma here, wait or go for it... My old tablet was an Acer A500 so I really needed something (and some people complain about lag on the Note? Ha!).
If you want, I could send you the APN setting Red Pocket lists on their manual setup page, if you think that would help...

There shouldn't be any problems using the sim and APN settings. The data rate you will see will depend on your area. If TMO has 'reformed' the edge frequencies to HSPA then you will get decent data. Otherwise you may get stuck with edge...

If your Note 3 isn't using LTE when it gets those speeds, then 'maybe'. Because the P605 doesn't have a perfect match for US freqs it still may not. I'm not sure where you are located, but if it's in a refarmed area you should (P605 supports HSPA on 1900). Here is the link (hope it goes) for the refarmed areas:

Hey bro you've been a big help. Thanks. I bought the tablet without knowing this issue. Anyway, I get a 4G LTE signal on my Note 3 so I guess that's LTE speed. I'm in Houston, TX and it says in the link you posted that we are one of the modernized market so we'll see.

Has anyone gotten this thing to work on the AT&T go Plans?
I need a carrier with a good rate that uses the AT&T network. Previously I would put my international devices on the go phone plan since it sees it in the system as a dumb phone however with this one it won't connect to the data. Gives me a message that I need to add a supported data plan.

Because the P605 doesn't support LTE in the US frequencies, HSDPA+ is the best you will be able to do. Your note 3 is tuned to use the LTE freqs here.

Calls over Wifi isn't an option either since my carrier doesn't support it. Over here everyone uses VOIP anyways. Im not bothered by the lack of calling I rarely even use my 'phone' anyways. Plus I'm hoping to get back to the states soon and I will be back on AT&T.

Darn, looks like this awesome phone doesn't support Band 13, is there any chance we can get this phone on Verizon's network?

I purchased the Razer phone and am using Verizon with it. There is a work around that their tier 2 tech team can do. They add your line just on their LTE(GSM) network ( No band 13 CDMA is utilized). So if you are in an area that has good to great LTE signal then you can get the phone. Mine works great at work and outdoors. My only issue is at home. I always had one bar with all my other phones and now I have no service. I am waiting for a Samsung 4g LTE extender from Verizon so that I can correct that issue.
Rumor has it, Verizon will make the shift to just LTE by the end of 2018. If and when this happens, CDMA band and cellphones will no longer work with their network.
Hope I helped anyone who has the phone or wants to buy it. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.
Ok I got mine working on LTE as well but there's no phone capabilities. Sure u can send text and surf the internet but u can't make phone calls.

You can. Verizon needs to configure it on their end. I made calls all day today.

How did u talk to tier 2? cause most reps don't know their head from a hole in the ground
And if that's the case any LTE phone should work on their Network right?

I used Verizon's live chat initially. Reason for this is I was able to save the conversation and use it as a reference when I had to call back and got another rep. Also, good way for the tier 2 tech team to catch up. It took some time and persistence to get it right. Once the chat rep exhausts all their troubleshoots, they will escalate it to tier 2. A threat about me leaving and going elsewhere was used on one occasion.
It did take time and patience but I think the phone is worth the trouble. My Razer works just as well as my GS 7 edge. Just a reminder. It is on LTE only, so if you hit an area without LTE you will not function.

I did my own questioning with this and simply stuck my SIM card from my Google phone into my Razer and for while it worked but I noticed it didn't stick.
So I called Verizon and they told me that because my sim card was registered to my Google phone I would need to go and get a new sim and stock it into the Razer and it would then work on LTE and would stick

I am going to say no and you should try live chat again. I had ported out when I first got this phone back around Thanksgiving and I couldn't stand it and wanted back in to Verizon. When I came back in, they activated a new sim using a pixel 2, popped it in my phone and did some configs on their end. You do not need a new sim if your current sim is on a phone that has LTE service with same OS and on Verizon already.
What do u have ur settings set to because where I was verison couldn't get it working
